"USING THE NEWLY REVISED FAMILY SEARCH WEBSITE" - Speaker, Ralph Severson

Several members have mentioned having difficulty searching the newly revised FamilySearch.org or using the new computer system at the Family History Library.

Help is on the way, folks!

Ralph Severson is the director of the Oakland Family History Library. He will tell us all about the newly revised FamilySearch.org website and how to navigate it for the best results. He will also fill us in on the new Family Search Wiki and upcoming FREE online classes available through Family Search "LEARN".

There are an abundance of new digitized records soon to be available, plus a Family Tree program where everyone can participate. Also, online film ordering will soon be available, much less expensive, and the films will be availale to you for 90 days.

Bring your notebooks! This promises to be a very interesting and informative meeting.
